Description
Who was Bartimaeus?
Bartimaeus was a blind beggar mentioned in Mrk.10.46-52. He was the son of Timaeus and sat by the roadside near Jericho. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Despite the crowd's attempts to silence him, Bartimaeus persisted in calling out to Jesus. Jesus stopped and asked for Bartimaeus to be brought to Him. When asked what he wanted, Bartimaeus replied, "Rabbi, I want to see." Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." Immediately, Bartimaeus received his sight and followed Jesus on the way. This miracle demonstrates Jesus' compassion and power to heal, as well as the importance of faith and persistence in seeking His help. Bartimaeus' story is an example of how Jesus responded to the needs of the marginalized and restored them physically and spiritually.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.

The pattern
Where Bartimaeus is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Mark (1).
